Losing My Grip.

Are you aware of what you make me feel, baby, Right now I feel in visible to you Like I'm not real Didn't you feel me lock my arms around you, Why'd you turn away, Here's what I have to say...

------------------------------------------------------------

Relena' POV:

"What did you want me for Relena?" Asked Heero in his usual flat monotone voice, his deep blue eyes staring emotionlessly forwards. His messy brown hair covering his eyes as he stared straight at me. I sighed as I saw that he was in a dull mood. "I just wanted to know, if you fancied a companioning me to dinner?" I ask with a smile, hoping to make the question sound attractive.

He frowned and looked out in to the hall, talking to someone behind him before he stuck his head back in to the room. "Where are you going?" He asked flatly, as my heart flutters with the chance he might actually go to dinner with me without having Maxwell sitting there. Well, my heart did flutter until I spotted him standing behind Heero. He was hanging off the boys shoulder trying to look in to the room, yet letting nothing slip I hope that he may just tell Maxwell to go away.

"Oh, The Merde Cuisine Restaurant. Just down the street. Appartantly the food is really good." I say with a smile as I pick up my purse and walked over, locking the office behind me. I see Maxwell standing there, leaning against the wall next to Heero in his black jacket, and sent him a false smile. He grins as he sees my bad mood and gives the a small wave. "So Hee- Chan where are we going then? Didn't catch the name of the place?" He asked as he jumped up and kept pace with the silent man and myself.

I slip my arm around Heero's and hold it close to me, to help him remember who he's actually going out with to dinner. Yet he doesn't even look at me, I just feel him keep his arm ridged so I couldn't pull it any closer. He smirks at Duo before he turns to me and ask's if I knew what the restaurant was called in English. I shake my head and rest it on his shoulder. He growl's but I know he will never shoot me. He loves me too much to do that.

"Duo, do you know what 'Merde Cuisine' means?" He asked with a tiny smile. I grit my teeth as I see Maxwell begin to laugh. "What? What's it mean Heero?" I purr in his ear as we wait for the elevator. Maxwell sees what I'm doing and pretends to gag, I glare at him as Heero smiles again. "Sure do Hee-Chan. It means Shit Food!"

I freeze as I hear Heero snicker and Duo laugh out again. "Oh Shut up Maxwell." I say in a mature and responsible voice, hoping the little brat from the slums will actually take note of it and act more mature. "Whow! Cool it there Miss Relena, you might break a couple of laws with that language!" He said mockingly as I scowl at him again. I look up at Heero, about to ask him to help me when I see him looking at Maxwell.

He has a funny glint in his eye, something I see when ever I catch him looking at the braided baka. It was soft and gentle, almost alien in the icy solider. Duo looks up at Heero, making him blush and look at the elevator doors as they open to let us in. Duo grins wider as I scowl at him, and he catches the blush on Heero's face.

*******************************

Duo's POV:

I stand in the elevator with the bitch queen, Relena and Hee-Chan. Once again Relena had attached herself to Heero thinking he likes it. Ha! Mean while I cough him looking at me again in that way he has, where he has this soft look in his eyes. Oh I wish I could show him my true feelings, re-pay that gentle look with soft touches. But I know he'll just blow my brains out.

But just to test it I lean on him and whisper something in his ear, pulling him gently down to my level a little. "Hee-Chan, can't we get a separate table from her once we're at the restaurant? " I ask seeing the blush appear on his face again at the close contact, small shivers running threw his frame. He looks at me and nods once, I grin as I see the bitch queen glare horrible at me, yet I know she had no idea what I said. I lean my head on Hee-Chan's shoulder for a second before leaning against the wall again.

*******************************

Heero's POV:

His breath tickled my ear, sending shivers threw me. I know I'm blushing again, I hate it when I do that! But to balance it out, I just love it when he does things like that. The closeness, the contact. It's just so Duo. Mean while I have this blond cow stuck on my other arm, other wise, I'd grab him with both arms and kiss him till we reached the 50th floor again!

My smile goes as we leave the elevator, heading out to the lobby, nodding to Quatra and Trowa as they return from there lunch break, hand in hand. Oh how I envy them! We we're all there surprisingly enough when they told each other there feelings at the Christmas party last year. They've never had one argument since!

I wish I could do that for Duo, but I don't want to scare him away. I've only just stared to become more human, giving in to my emotions and starting to display them. If I jump the gun and say that I loved Duo, then he'd just get freaked out and run away. I am such a baka!

*******************************

Relena POV:

We've finally got a table, thanks to my well known face and phoning ahead to book. Yet those two separate with me, saying that it would be easier for Heero to protect me at a distance where he could spot potential threats instead of up close. I sigh as I sit down on my own, and look threw the menu, watching them as they sit opposite each other, talking.

Ha! Spot potential threats my foot, he's got to stop staring at Maxwell to do that! I sigh again and order my meal, and begin the wait for it. I should really try and think about what I'm going to say in the meeting tomorrow, but I just can't stop thinking about those two! I glare at them from across the room, as I see how Maxwell manages to make him smile and snicker. It's infuriating!

*******************************

Duo's POV:

"Hee-Chan," I say, my throat suddenly dry as I chose this moment to decide to tell my feelings. He looks at me, his beautiful blue eye's that are usually so cold, are looking at me with so much warmth and hidden love that it gives me a little bit more courage. I just hope that he really does love me and is not just trying to show that we've good friends.

"Hee-Chan, I really have to tell you something." I say as I gently place my hand on top of his, swolloing before I go on. I feel like I'm sweating buckets, and my mouth has gone dry. I just hope to what ever gods guide us that he doesn't shoot me! Keep it together Duo!

*******************************

Heero's POV:

He's put his hand on top of mind! Does this mean he's going to tell say he loves me? He looks like he had some thing important to tell me. It could be that he loves me, or it could be that he's getting married to Hilde? God I hate that girl!

Oh please Duo! I move my fingers to encircle Duo's nervous one's on top of my, smiling gently at him, hoping to encourage him. "Duo, I think I'm the one that should be-" Oh My God!

*******************************

Relena POV:

He just kissed him! Oh my god! Duo just kissed Heero! I crumple the napkin in my hands, turning it to ribbons as I see Heero deepen the kiss. A light blush dusting both there cheeks, there eyes closed at they kiss across the table. I get up and storm out the restaurant, not that they noticed!

I run in to the ally way next to the restaurant and break down in tears. Falling at the dirty floor as the image plays over and again in my mind, making my knees weaken in sorrow. I shake as the tears fall out. "I'll kill him!" I whisper out weakly, my voice croaky and weak as I sat in the ally and cried. "I'll kill them both!"

*******************************

Duo POV:

Oh My God! I'm kissing him! He taste's so sweet, like candy. I could stay like this forever, I feel his tongue gently on my lip, asking for entrance, I open up and our tongues wrestle for dominance before we break apart for air. I smile up at him, "I wanted to tell you Heero, that I love you." I said quietly, the noise from the restaurant, the city around us was gone. It was just us two in a little world of our own.

'Please say it back,' my mind begs as I see mind look at me shocked.

*******************************

Heero's POV:

I know I should of expected it! But even as I hear him say those words I freeze up! I see the hurt that's starting to rise in his eyes as I take to long to get over the shock. I shake my self lightly, and blink, looking at him again.

He's now looking at his hands resting on the table, a tear fighting to fall down his cheek. I reach my hand over and lift his head up to look him in the eye. "I love you too." I whispered back, my thumb gently caressing his cheek. I wipe away the tear with my thumb before it can threaten to fall anymore. "I thought that boy's don't cry."

*******************************

Duo's POV:

I laugh gently as he says that, "it's true. But I don't know what else I can do in a public restaurant now you've said that to me." I wanted to hug him! To kiss him again! To lay him down on the table and fuck till he was sore! Anything, but that's all I could do right them.

I sigh and look over at the table where Relena was sitting. And frown as I see she's gone. Bag and all. Heero follows my gaze and sighs, "come on. Lets go and find her." He said tiredly as we got up, cancelling both our orders.

*******************************

Heero's POV:

We found Relena crying her eyes out in the ally, after Duo suggested we check there. I only agreed because I was planning on pinning him against the wall and kissing him again. But we only turned the corner and found her sitting there. Her horrible pink dress was smudged with dirt and grim as she sat there with tears falling out of her eyes, her face swollen and blotchy.

"Relena." I call as we move closer, hand in hand. Which proberly didn't help. She just cried harder as she saw us, turning her face away from us. "Relena?" I ask, my hand reaching out for her shoulder, looking at Duo puzzled as he looks down at her shocked.

*******************************

Relena' POV:

I can't believe it. I should of known. But even as I see them holding hands together my heart gives another jolt of pain. He reaches a hand out to me, yet still he looks at his loved one for help. I shake as I wish with all my heart that I could of been that loved one.

"Miss Relena, come on. Let's get you home." Say's Maxwell as Heero looks down at me helpless. Looks down at me, that's what he's always done, both of them. He gave me his protection out of pity and honour and I took it for love. I can see that now as Heero scoop's me up and Maxwell calls a taxi.

I'm still crying as they sit me in between them in the back of the taxi. "Miss Relena, please stop crying." Say's Maxwell as he passes me a tissue. I take it off him in a quick motion, not looking him in the eye but I do try and stop crying as a thank you. I see him smile gently at me out the corner of my eye, as he relaxes a bit.

I sit there sulking, my mind racing with the vow I made earlier in the ally way. I will kill them. The only problem is how? Two wars didn't kill them, so how am I going to do it? I wander as I look out the window. How....?

*******************************

Heero's POV:

She's stopped crying and just seems to be staring in to space now. I think she just needs some time to get over it. As we walk her to her house, asking the taxi to wait a moment, she seems to be in a daze. I'm a bit worried about leaving her alone in her mansion. Until Duo reminds me she's got her man servant Pagan to look after her.

I shrug and leave a message on her fridge to call us once she feels better. Duo says that he doesn't think she needs to, but I tell him we need to tell her about us and make sure she's okay. He still doesn't agree but then once we're out side the door, I shut him up by covering him mouth with my own.

He grins at me as we leave and get in the taxi hand in hand, going back to my place for the night. I personally couldn't wait until I got him home. I think he knew that as well with every now and then he would pinch my ass or kiss me on the neck, as he leaned his head on my shoulder.

I grin like a dope as my thoughts wonder from the freaked out Relena to what I was going to do with Duo in half an hours time. Lucky fucking me!

*******************************

Relena' POV:

"Those two little fagots will be home by now." I say out loud as I pace back and forth in my room. I just can't keep still! Every time I manage to almost relax the image of those two kissing comes in to my head. All my old fantasies of Heero and myself are gone! Replaced by Heero and Maxwell!

I curse them again and begin another lap of my bed room. "I need help. I need someone who's done this before, some one who hates them as well but likes me." I muse as I begin to get stroke a lock of my hair that was resting on my shoulder. "But who? Dorathy? Maybe, but she has that love for me. I could use it, but that would just be wrong. She would want something back, like me. Yes, I could do that, then Heero would see that he does love me and not Maxwell!"

I stop and listen to the silent mansion. Pagan has gone to bed in the servants quarters long ago. "What about my brother Milliardo? Yes, he hates the ex-pilots. But he would wonder why I do now, but oh well. That might make him hate them more if they've hurt me! Yes, yes!" I mutter to myself.

I move over to the phone and pick it up with a shaky hand, dialling the last number my brother gave me. "Hello Zech speaking." He answers. I grin to myself as I hear his husky voice on the other end of the line. "Brother, do you think you could help me?" I asked down the phone, innocently. I hear him pause in shock as he hears it's me.

"Relena? What are you calling for? Sure I could I guess, what is it?" He ask's puzzled. My grin widens in to maniacal one as I begin to explain the situation, him listening in silence on the other end. "Well brother?" I hear him laugh on the other end, "and all this time I thought you liked those pain in the ass boy's. Sure. We'll meet up at your house tomorrow to discuss plans, okay?" I laugh happily, "yes, yes! Perfect brother, yes!" I put the phone down on him and turn to get un-dressed, and climb in to my large lonely bed again.

*******************************

Milliardo put the phone down and looked at it worriedly, before he turned to look at Noin sitting on the sofa next to him. "I think my sister's losing her grip on things." He said quietly as he looked at the five playing cards in his hand. "Oh, how come?" Asked Noin as she put down her hand and grinned at her win. Milliardo looked down at her hand, then at his own, putting them down and smirking at the look of disappointment on Noin' face.

"Well, she's finally realised that Heero and Duo love each other and they've finally admitted there feelings to each other, and it's sent her off the edge." He said as he gathered by the cards and began to shuffle them again. Noin frowned and looked up at him, "your not going to help her kill them are you?"

Milliardo laughed, "no of course not! Duo and Heero are close friends of mine now we both work for Preventor's. Except it appears my sister doesn't know that." As he shuffled the cards one last time and dealt them out. Noin grinned at him, "good because it was Duo's idea that we got together remember? He and Quatra were playing match maker."

Milliardo grinned at her, "of course. But what am I going to do with her? Give her to a shrink?" He frowned as he looked down at his cards and took another two. Noin sighed, "we're going to have to do something. She's a potential threat to two f our best agents." Milliardo nodded and grinned as he realised he'd lost a game. Noin laughed and jumped on top of him, "at last! We should do it until you win. It takes too long to wait for me to win." Milliardo laughed and began to undress her as she kissed him along his neck.

*******************************

Relena sighed as she dried her eyes for the second time that night. "I'll get you both, for what you did."

----------------------------------------------

I was left to cry there Waiting outside there grinning with the lost air that's when I decided...

Why should I care! Couse you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone! You need to listen, I'm starting to trip I'm losing my grin And I'm in this think alone...

------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------

Well what do you think? Come on be honest, even if you hated it past the first words, tell me so that I can work on it...
